Hello Song

Book: Sweet Dream Pie by Audrey Wood, illustrated by Mark Teague

Song: A Song for Making Mud Pie (Tune: Sing of Sing a Song of Sixpence)
Sing a song for mud pie, It’s my favorite brand.
Mix it ‘til it’s mushy,
Squeeze it with your hand.
Put it in a tin pan,
Leave it in the sun.
Wait about an hour,
Then you know it will be done!
